`Summary of service activities: I have been quite active in the Neurology Department over the last
`five years, designing a new laboratory based research track residency designed to facilitate
`transition of neurology residents back to substantial research experiences. This program has been
`operative for five years and is thus far quite successful. As the organizer of this program, I solicit
`applications, serve as advisor in preparing applications and run a small review panel that considers
`the applications. In addition, I have been very active in the Neuroscience Program at UCSF in the
`last five years, serving as chair of the admissions committee for two years as well as being a
`member of other committees. The other prominent aspect of my service is to the NIH for grant
`review. I was a standing member of the Neurogenesis and Cell Fate (NCF) study section for five
`years and served as the chair of the committee in my last year. I recently became a standing
`member of one of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s standing grant review panels. I have
`also served as ad hoc reviewer for numerous other grant panels both nationally and internationally.
`This is a nationally prominent position that allowed me to develop close contacts with many peers in
`the field and also gave me a fairly unique insight into the way that developmental neuroscience is
`pursued in the US. I have given numerous national and international seminars over the last few
`years and been a reviewer for many journals. I’ve been active as a member of the American
`Neurological Association, serving two separate terms on their Program Organizing Committee and
`serving as a member of their Board of Councilors.
